SERVICE TIME CHANGE Sunday, June 4 (Holy Trinity Sunday), will be our first Sunday on the new service schedule. We are moving to a single Sunday morning service at 9:00am with fellowship and Bible Study afterwards.

Our hope is that this service time change blesses you by uniting the whole congregation, by allowing us all to sing together and build one another up, and by providing more time for fellowship together on Sunday mornings. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available on the table in the narthex.
